This appears to be in agreement with my original comment:

> In order to eliminate waste, one should be able to recognize it. If some activity could be bypassed or the result could be achieved without it, it is waste. Partially done coding eventually abandoned during the development process is waste. Extra features like paperwork and features not often used by customers are waste. Switching people between tasks is waste (because of time spent, and often lost, by people involved in context-switching). Waiting for other activities, teams, processes is waste. Relearning requirements to complete work is waste. Defects and lower quality are waste. Managerial overhead not producing real value is waste.

Note what isn't included: Necessary but hidden things. In fact, one of the things included here is explicitly the opposite of what OP included - defects (bugs). They called fixing bugs a waste, while this is saying having bugs is a waste.

Everything I'm seeing from the responses I've gotten are just reinforcing that OP is wrong about this word, whether it be straight Japanese or altered English jargon originating from ７つのムダ.
Boeing is a grossly inefficient organization, have been for a while. It's not just them, this is typical of the defense contractor side of the house for companies like them. It doesn't help that they're getting the high publicity contracts, lots of low publicity contracts that go about as well and are run about as poorly.
Applied! Excited to hear back soon hopefully.
You can use pgp to send mail to your protonmail acc :D.
I've been down this road quite a bit on Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress/Alibaba. Are there any good options for relays that work for 100-200amps? I've found 30 amp relays of the type that are built into PCBs and I have tried a few 100 amp contractors that can be triggered with a separate line but I'm not sure I trust them. Most tend to top out at 65a rating and I get the feeling the 100a ones are just the same but with a more belligerent seller willing to advertise a false rating. What serious options are available for switching larger loads remotely.
You could encrypt the source IP on all your outbound TCP packets, but it might not work very well.
Yeah, this is much clearer than The Register's attempt to summarize/explain/sensationalize it.

And the meat seems... pretty bland. They caught a bunch of "plausibly fingerprinty"[1] tokens (that a reasonable interpretation of Apple policy would require being stored on the device) being sent unobfuscated in later requests.

That looks a lot more like a genuine mistake by developers than a real attempt to evade tracking controls to me.

[1] But... not very? Seems like they're mostly concerned with system uptime. And, sure, boot time can be a fingerprint, but by definition an ephemeral one. In combination with other techniques, sure, maybe there's a way to construct an user profile. But alone? Meh. And it seems like that's all the investigators found.

Again your use of language is loose. It's yet to be established that genocide is occurring, so how can you investigate it?
> Did SpaceX poach all of Boeing/Airbus' best people?

Definitely part of the reason. They did poach a lot of good people.

SpaceX vs Gov Contractors been the war cry of those who believe Private >> Contractors. Everything Elon has done for SpaceX has been absolutely relentless,
and razor focused on the goal. This includes being willing to sacrifice individual's life-balance for the mission. Combine all that with a willingness to do fast iteration and break things where it's "safe" to do so. You've got the ability to disrupt an industry/ecosystem that's gotten lazy and fat over time.

To be clear, Private >> Contractors is not 100% nor is the flip. There are too many examples of both directions either working or not working.
Every aspect of elder care is a rigged game to separate people from their wealth before they die. Everything. Think long-term-care insurance will save you? Think again, it's a con too. They'll find a reason not to pay and they will drag their feet through the legal process if you try to sue them.

Avoid it all, nobody gets out of life alive.
I want to use this for private codebases. Seems like something that should have existed already, great idea!
Even the most aggressive proponents of capitalism concede that it is indeed, basically evil. I'm not an anti-capitalist, I like the notion of cheap electronics and having a variety of cars to buy from, and 60 kinds of peanut butter. Where capitalism and I start to butt heads is things like predatory financial practices, anti-consumer lobbying, the monetization of essential services for life, and openly stoking the worst in people for profit.
> if they’re such a great profit source that PE firms are snapping them up

This is where the Econ 101 naiveté of your comment goes completely off the rails. I am wondering if you are trolling.

- A vet certainly does not need to be a "great" profit source for PE. I genuinely can't believe you'd say that with a straight face. If it barely breaks even and the owners end up flipping the assets and real estate, that's a win.

- The obvious reason PE has stepped up their investments in pet care is that COVID led to a huge spike in US pet ownership. In about 5 years this spike in vet demand will fade. When that happens, these firms will wring their investments dry before moving on, leaving debt-saddled clinics behind. You can't just ignore the actual economic context because you found a fact-free explanation that high schoolers find convincing.

- in general it might be barely profitable to run a good vet clinic, but highly profitable to run a terrible clinic. I doubt emergency vet medicine is very profitable. You can't just assume PE runs the clinics the same as a vet-owned clinic. In fact the article makes it clear that this is not the case.

- There is just a total lack of humility from you: being smug and ignorant is a bad combination. Sure, the article is full of people complaining about specific PE-owned vets, and the comments on HN are full of people complaining about specific PE-owned vets.... but maybe if they understood the law of supply and demand, they wouldn't be so upset.
The other problem is private equity can burn money in the short term to undercut new competitors at their most vulnerable times and return to profit gathering soon after.
Not to mention the bureaucracy tax; Boeing has had far more time to let the bureaucracy metastasize.
Because it sucked, and people fondly remembering it have blotted its manifold failures out of their memory. Imagine HN or Reddit, but virtually every post in every thread quotes huge chunks of preceding posts, often many layers deep. Randomly remove comments from threads; remove different comments from different servers at different times, to make sure nobody sees the exact same content. Eliminate search. Eliminate all but the most blunt-force moderation. Eliminate user profiles, or following particular users. Divide the universe into a global taxonomy of discussion topics, then allow people to cross-post from one to the other, starting firestorms of confused argument and complaint. Wait 2-12 hours for your discussion partners to see your as they move peristaltically through the store-and-forward NNTP system. Expire all history after a week or so. Every once in awhile, just for fun, drop a 50-comment-long chain of uuencoded binary chunks into the middle of your debate about Lisp.

Usenet was one of the first systems of its kind, and it's no wonder people look back on it wistfully. It was wild, being able to talk (or argue, or flame, or troll) people all around the world at every hour of the day. Usenet was amazing. So was the Sony Vaio. You wouldn't want to use it today, though.
Why does numpy do column order data?

Is it because in much of the maths domain it turns out you manipulate columns more often than rows?

(not a mathematician but I could believe if the columns represent "dimensions" or "qualities" of some dataset, and you want to apply a function to a given dimension, having data in column-natural order makes that faster.)

Obviously you want to believe naievely there is no difference to the X and Y in the X,Y plane, but machines are not naieve and sometimes there IS a difference to doing things to the set of verticals, and the set of horizontals.
> now they just have to deal with the boundless joy of being managed

I did a start-up. I’ve worked for companies big and small. There is no single equilibrium here. Being able to cash in your paycheque and not give a fuck come 5PM is a luxury in itself.
Could you give an example for a subpar UX?
Capitalism is good when it can be balanced with the needs of society. We do not have that. We have people saying their only requirement is to make more money. What do you call someone who pursues profit at all costs, only restrained - and sometimes not - by the regulation of government?

Evil, duh. If you approach capitalism like this you're evil.
Yes. That must be true because every vet office I go to advertises it heavily. The way car dealers push warranties.

And also, some theorize low birth rate is causing people to treat their pets like children thus necessitating more care. Think how many people call themselves a dog mon. Also, it’s really only been a couple decades since Frontline caught on and people largely let their animals live inside.

Vet schools are largely for-profit, often in other countries. I have a good friend who does admissions for one in St Kitts, they turn down a lot of people. I bet they all do.

Demand grows faster than supply, prices go up. Prices go up enough, PE firms start buying them.

I had this discussion recently and went onto investigate, and I found no reports that any newspaper was outlawed in Gaza. In fact I read that the most popular newspaper is Al-Quds, a Jerusalem based newspaper.

I don’t think there is much of a market for either Haaretz or the Jerusalem Post in Gaza, so I would be really surprised if respective offices care to distribute their papers there.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-14631745

Do you have any reports which indicates that Hebrew (or any other) newspapers are censored in Gaza?

All that said, press freedom is definitely a concern in Gaza, however that is a result of the Israeli occupation, which prevents access, targets journalists, blockades the enclave, and sometimes even levels foreign press offices, such as the AP’s.

> pretty sure they're advocating better taxing the PE firms looting billions, not the vets making $150k/year

My point is this isn’t a symptom of closing the carried-interest loophole. It’s fundamental to the business. The fixed costs of administering a veterinary clinic demand scale, and scale thirsts for capital.

I'm not sure what you are proposing. You declare cop-out, but then fail to describe a mechanism.

Who exactly would initiate this change? Shareholders? Board members? C-suite? Employees?

What do you propose an initiator should argue to convince colleagues? Why should an initiator spend political capital on this rather than on themselves?

Of course they have the money to give to random OSS projects for no return. What your post lacks is any motivation for doing so.
I would say that Mullvad seems to be the exception - they know their stuff. You can even pay with cash for even more anonymity.
That's more or less the plan. We want to prove our concept with free software repos first.
That article fails to touch on the fundamental issue with its title "The Secrets of Colour Interpolation": RGB values are a nonlinear function of the light emitted (because we are better at distinguishing dark colours, so it's better to allow representing more of those), so to interpolate properly you need to invert that function, interpolate, then reapply. The difference that makes to colour gradients is really striking.

Ask HN: Is it true that Kafka API has become the de facto standard of streaming?
In recent years, we have seen many challengers to Kafka emerge. Without exception, they all claim to be fully compatible with the Kafka API. Some challengers have even directly forked Kafka's code to innovate further. Has the Kafka API now become the de facto standard in the stream processing domain? How has it achieved this status?
When you need to do large/medium-scale analytical queries. Postgres is fairly slow for aggregate/group queries needed for analytics. Think if you're building Google Analytics type functionality.
typo, you likely meant "Markets are NOT predicated on capitalism." right?

It appears you got banned for advocating for and supporting genocide and spreading misinformation. If you believe the Hamas/Palestine Oct 7th attack was a justified act of defense then you cannot have any problem with the wholesale slaughter of civilians anywhere. killing over 200 defenseless teenagers at a concert is not an act of defense, to construe it as such is to advocate for terror.

When people ask, “why don’t the Palestinians do more to defend themselves?” they generally mean doing defensive things, such as building anti-rocket defenses or bomb shelters like Israel does to protect their citizens. They don’t mean, “why didn’t the Palestinians attempt to commit more terrorist acts of genocide sooner?”

Also advocating for the bombing of a border crossing that has aid coming through it is a great way to prevent all future aid from passing through it. No one wants to be sitting target and if you start bombing the hand that feeds you the aid will stop. And the border crossing will be turned into a wall with snipers pointed at it.

As Jordan, Egypt, and the Lebanese government (until Hezbollah took over) have show, the solution to this conflict is very simple: make peace with Israel, sign trade agreements and you will prosper.
> you must agree that a house has utility that is not affected by its market price

The market price is determined by how much people want it, of which utility is a large component.
Uptime can be pretty long on iOS devices, and the developers have no legitimate use for that information.
I thought Corporatism was the kind of socialised capitalism practiced in South Korea? In that mode large corporations act as the welfare state for employees while the corporation keeps redundancies to a minimum.

Private Equity is kinda the inverse of this where there is no paternalism at all from corporations.
I have never found protonmail's signup step asking for phone number verification or a recovery email to be unskippable.

Protonmail can still be the best choice for a pseudonymous mail service so long as it's combined with diligent, consistent IP address obfuscation. Protonmail will continue to allow logins and new account creations over Tor. All the major free email providers have long since disallowed new signups over Tor, and most have some form of degraded user experience when logging in over Tor, if they allow it at all. Small, niche email providers appear and disappear so often that relying on them still to exist even a few months into the future is a big gamble. Hosting one's own email requires payment of some type to the hosting provider, so it is not anonymous. Other privacy-oriented free email providers, such as riseup, will do exactly what protonmail did, because if they refuse, their only option is to go the way of lavabit.
Right. This is the most basic level of marketing. Is this not as widely known as I assumed it was?
> One thing I wonder is how this can best be extended to argumentative discourses where much of the discussion is a dispute of facts.

This is what I always think about when the topic of structured argument/discussion comes up, but everyone wants to focus on aspects of the threading.

We are still totally missing a n obvious layer or organization, such as splitting sub comments into categories like disputes-parent and supports-parent and asks-clarification and elaborates-parent. We’re missing flags for ad-hom and logical fallacies and all the nuance of discussion has degenerated into up/down votes . And we are missing the ability to collapse or zip up any finished meandering paths once there is consensus/clarity on the subtopic.

Since all we do is debate bullshit on the internet it’s surprising that we’re still so disorganized and ineffective at it!

There’s definitely a sweet spot somewhere between this baby talk that we’re all engaged in and the rigors of things like lawyery jargon / math / Loglan. But we’re not even close yet.
> people having more pets in lieu of children

This is the weird thing to me. When I was a kid, a pet was more or less a thing. You took care of it, but if it got really sick or badly injured you put it down and maybe got another one.

The idea of people spending 5 or 6 figures on pet health care is rather mind-boggling.
That’s the use case for cdc, to make it equally easy to use a DW. As always the complexity is just air you move in the balloon. The oltp db can spit out the events and forget them, how you load them efficiently is now a data engineer’s problem to solve ( if it was easy to write event grain on an olap you would not need an oltp). Kafka usually enters the room at this stage and the simplification promise is becoming tenuous.
Interesting article, but the best part is the author's name!

Hard disagree. Things like bolding text, adding pictures, changing colors, etc are very important for the emails I send. So some amount of HTML is important to me.
I saw this work a while ago, they posted some early demos roughly when we were first opening up with our Linux index. While the interface is indeed similar, I'd say as things stand now we are different in a couple of dimensions.

First, we pre-build a codebase-wide index for large repos that's readily available vs some kind of local VSCode plugin.

Secondly, we cover different languages. We started with deep support for C/C++ based on clang while they seem to be focused on TypeScript.

I'm curious why you'd say that theirs is more polished?

Consider this comment: "But the xy story taught us, that every contributor is dangerous, the most dangerous ones are probably the most helpful and most skilled contributors."

What is "xy"?

It's tempting to classify this as a typo but y is a long way from z on the keyboard, while the x and z keys are adjacent.

I type xz on a regular basis because it is so often used in place of gz for compressing tarballs. I cannot imagine calling it "xy" unless I rarely used it.
I think that is the GP's point. Privacy means the data is reasonably hidden, though it still exists somewhere in a readable state. Anonymity means the information of who did what really doesn't exist anywhere.

In the case of governments, private data is only hidden until the government decides that it needs to look for it (or ask for it). Anonymity means the data isn't there, regardless of whether the government decides it needs to, and has legal justification to, demand access to the data.

Anyone providing anonymity is only an accomplice if they know your intent. Simply not collecting data doesn't make you an accomplice, not collecting data with the intent of hiding someone else's illegal behavior does.
They found a way to launder the sale of their users' data through this deal so they can make billions and most people don't even realize they've been sold. I doubt they'll just give it up.

We do have that, a lot. It’s just not perfect. Capitalism has been the best thing that’s ever happened to humanity, and you’re just regurgitating the propaganda from people not capable of nuanced thought. Capitalism is not the answer to every problem, and nobody in economics believes laissez faire is a good idea.

People pursuing profits is what has lifted is all out of poverty. “At all costs” doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a propaganda buzzword.

Believe it or not, PE firms do a lot of good things too. VC is a form of PE without which we wouldn’t be having this conversation. A lot of poorly run businesses were purchased and well run and became going concerns.

And certainly it goes the other way sometimes, but that’s not necessarily bad. Is the World materially worse off without Kmart and Sears? Hard to say.

In any case, when you hear someone call capitalism evil, that’s the propaganda trap I’m talking about. It’s a tool. It’s no more evil than a hammer.
Seems like vet care is clearly one of those places where markets have a place. I don't think the people will accept socializing the cost of back surgery for someone's dog.

I absolutely blame regulation. When my cat was dying I couldn't even by kidney friendly cat food without an prescription from a licensed professional.
That’s an unsupportable claim, Please show me all the aggressive proponents of capitalism who concede it as evil. It also makes no sense, People are evil, ideas are right or wrong.

That’s the exact nonsense propaganda I’m talking about.

I one purchased a Coffee Lake SFF PC from eBay from a fleet reseller, and I discovered a "ME DISABLED" sticker on the chassis when I received it.

Sure enough, every single software tool, or the BIOS/UEFI itself suggests ME is disabled, or does not exist at all. 'Features' requiring ME like Intel SGX appear as not supported.

I'm not sure how exactly they did it, and/or if there are any other modifications made to the system, but digging further is beyond my skill level.

My theory, with no evidence, is that this is an ex-govt (security/defense?) PC that somehow got sold.

Not really, you can always change the indexing to account for it. For example, the GEMM matrix multiplication subroutines from BLAS can transpose their arguments [1]. So if you have A (m x n) and B (n x p) stored row-major, but you want to use a column-major BLAS to compute A*B, you can instead tell BLAS that A is n x m, B is p x n, and you want to compute A' * B'.

As the article mentions, NumPy can handle both and do all the bookkeeping. So can Eigen in C++.
